Your mom was one of the first people who made me feel at home at New Life Baptist Church. I've prayed for her through her illness and am glad she is experiencing the joys of Heaven. Thankful she isn't suffering anymore but sad for your loss because she was such a loving mother! Praying God comforts you at this time.

Dear Carolyn, Kathy, Tim, Leslie, and Greg, Sissy was a loving, kind and generous person who made a difference in every live she touched, including mine. She took me into her home when I was a troubled teen and cared for me as though I were her own. She has a special place in my heart as does every one of you. My lover and support will always be here for you.
